AMD doesn’t make money consistently. It’s in an incredibly capital intensive business. Occasionally, one of its chips outmaneuvers the corresponding Intel chips for a generation or two. But in a couple of years, it rolls the dice again. More likely than not, Intel will beat it next few cycles. Then AMD will lose money while it tries to develop another hit.

As an investor I think it’s always important to ask: what’s changed and why now? Discussing the past without addressing those two questions may make you miss opportunities that were obvious in retrospect. You might have been able to say the same thing about Apple when Jobs rejoined the company and started launching new products.
